Goring and Streatley Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goring and Streatley Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in England. The bridge links the twin villages of Goring-On-Thames, in the county of Oxfordshire, and Streatley, in the county of Berkshire, and is adjacent to Goring Lock. The current bridge on the site was built in 1923.
The bridge is in two parts: The western bridge is from Streatley to an island in the river (overlooking The Swan hotel, once owned by Danny La Rue); The eastern bridge is from the island to Goring and overlooks Goring Lock.
In the 1970's a Citroën Dyane crashed through the railings at the Streatley end of the bridge landing on a concrete weir 5M below. The local Citroën dealer used the photo to illustrate the inherent strength of their upmarket 2CV
